HGLC TEAMS UP WITH THE LANDING PLACE TO PROVIDE "FIRST WORK" EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS

Herring Gut Learning Center and The Landing Place have teamed up to provide a small group of students a "first work" opportunity. The students are designing, building and planting 5 garden beds at The Landing Place to provide the children that attend the Landing Place fresh produce for their weekly dinners and to donate to other organizations. Our thanks to the Clowes Foundation who has provided us with a generous grant in order to provide this experience to the students.
